How do you keep squirels out of your garden?

I have a lot of squirrels that come to my garden, and a coupple of them are quite tame now and will come into the kitchen for peanuts. However, when I reorganised my garden I put pieces of chicken wire over the pots and tubs to keep them out and it also meant I could put mulch over it to, so as to keep the plants moist. Rather than stopping the squirrels, try using the chicken wire to protect the plants.
